I am. The toolbar took a big step backwards. Its harder to read and smaller "targets". Whom ever is the head of this app needs to read "The Humane Interface" by (the late) Jef Raskin.

Another bug is positioning within a message. I have a folder that get automagically filled by a mail rule. The headers of the mail looks similar to other message (a email digest). When I scroll down in a message, then delete the message. The next message it displays, it has moved to near the bottom of the message. Annoying.

Mail's still better overall than the previous version IMO.
It's saving grace without a doubt is the syncing feature in .Mac (i know it's not actually a feature of mail). Before tiger, i didn't actually open mail on the machine i used less, for fear things would be lost. now they sync perfectly.

mail works wonderfully well for me. i'm impressed. I kinda like the toolbar to be honest. The mail in panther didn't look very professional. this one does. i'm thinking that the 10.4.1 update will fix a lot of users issues with bugs in Mail. though you'll have to stick with the buttons and layout. i'm a big fan though. I was pondering buying Mailsmith but decided against it.

The change in toolbars took me about a 2-3 days to get used to. I don't really feel strongly about it one way or another.

I'm just glad that the httpmail plug-in has been updated to work with Tiger. I can access my Hotmail via Mail again. Although the option to synchronize with the Hotmail servers doesn't seem to be working - after selecting that option, whenever I come back it has changed back to "leave messages on server". Still better than using the web interface. I'm slowly transitioning to Gmail, but I have so many net accounts setup with my Hotmail account which I have had for about ten years now.

Overall, I like Tiger Mail better if for nothing else it handles HTML mail properly.
